Textured heaven from this week's hair heroes

Hairstyle of the week |

Megababes Joan Smalls, Karlie Kloss and Gigi Hadid may have spent their fash weeks working super sleek, so-straight-you-slide-off-it hair, but elsewhere texture and oomph was having a moment too. Cheryl Cole's new chopped-into bob and Kristen Stewart's jagged shoulder-length 'do for Chanel are proving that multiple layers and many dimensions are totally a thing.

You might want to have a rummage through some old toiletry bags you haven't opened since the early noughties, because, if the locks on any of these ladies' heads are anything to go by, hair wax, mousse and gel are set to make their way back into your getting-ready routine.

Cheryl Cole

She's referring to it as 70s, we think it's a little bit Monica from Friends, but either way, Cheryl's new bob is rly sophisticated and we kind of wouldn't mind working it ourselves. There's an art to having hair with that much volume and it may involve mousse, a barrel brush, and two blow-dries a day.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

You might be more used to seeing her with wet hair, laying flat out by a pool or something, but this week RHW's been srsly busy reinventing her lob as a fully zhuzhed 'do. A little bit toussled and a little bit choppy, the megawatt actress and supermodel was owning it at last week's BRIT Awards after-party.

Claire Barrow

You might not know her face, but London Fashion Week fave and Topshop NEWGEN designer Claire Barrow is like, a totally important designer. And her aggressively cool hair is worth taking note of too. So much love for the million layers living in this cut, from the choppy fringe to the blunt ends: this is texture that says half punk, half modernist and really chic.

Kristen Stewart

It's not too far off the mullet she wore for her role in The Runaways but K-Stew has taken to a longer length in a glossier, more grown-up way for her latest Chanel ad, released today. Well, as if Karl Lagerfeld would have it any other way. Grungy/girly perfection.

Lindsey Wixson

A model who knows how to navigate her way through beauty references, Lindsay has already channelled Bardot after making her name with a so-bad-it-was-good mullet, but now she seems to have settled on an off-duty look to really lust after. It's the neckscarf-tuck and the dropped curls gone scruffy that make this effortless 'do our fave of Wixson's many hair personalities.

Vashti

Vashti's hair may as well host parties of its own, given the amount of love we want to extend to the DJ and Puma collaborator every time she hits the decks. Those curls! That volume! So fabulous.
